tributing Towards 1t.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 31.-A SUBJ
scription has been opened here for a
fund for the benefit OF Mrs. Logan. 1t
was started with the following letter
from an old Confederate soldier:
To THE EDITOR OF THE News AND COURIER:
l see by the papers that the widow OF the
late Gen. Logan has been left in impecu-
NOUS circumstances. Gen. Logan was a
hard fighter against the South during the
war and even after the war, but the
generous way in which the whole
nation rushed to the aid OF the
cradle OF secession after the recent earth
quake, has obliterated from my mind the
imaginary line which divided the North
and South. Enclosed | send S25, which l
beg the News and Courier to use as nu-
cleus for fund, to be contributed by Con
federate soldiers and other Carolinians for
the widow OF the late John A. Logan, the
Union warrior and statesman.
A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
A subscription list will be opened
to-day and the people of Charleston
will, out OF their poverty, contribute a
mite to the support of the widow OF
brave old "Black Jack"

Fears of the Friends of the Interstate
Commerce Biz.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 29.-True
friends of the inter commerce bill
have lost all hope OF its becoming q
law at this session of Congress; and to
go over to the next Congress means a
re opening of the whole subject and the
discussion of every body views, which
are legion.
"The very moment the conference
report was permitted to lie on the
desk OF the president of the Senate"
said a member to-day, "its passage
became matter of great doubt. IF
the Senate intended that it should 90
through the lower house it would
have acted at once. Now there is no
telling when it will come up, or in
what form it may be found fort
night hence. We all know that an in
dependent measure can be very readi-
ly killed-or rather allowed to die
no matter how meritorious it may pe
if it is allowed 20 rest till after
the holidays in g short session. Al
though it is g conference report and
therefore privileged matter, it hasnoJ
passed either house. It has terrible
gauntlet to run before it can become
law. There is only one advantage
in the position it is now in, being q
conference report it must be passed in
its present shape or rejected; it cannot
be amended Or banded around COM
mittees.
The statesmen from the East and
certain portions of the South oppose
the measure, aud its only ardent
friends, it seems, are found in the Cen
trel and Prairie States. At present
the bill is in chancery, and its passage
is a matter OF the gravest doubt.

The removal of the snow which fell in

AUSTRALIAN CROPS.

The Weather too Hot and Dry-The Ac-
counts Generally UnfavorabIe.
The New Zealand Loan and Mercan-
tile Assurance Company OF Melbourne,
in q circular Of the crop prospects in
Australia says: "Tne recent hot
weather, though it has had forcing in,
t1uence on the growing crops, has not
been favorable to the filling out of the
wheat heads, and in some districts in
the North the accounts to hand
of the wheat on the plains are
far from favorable: On irrigated
lands the yield will be large
but the average computed III the lat
ter is small. A difference OF four bush
els to an acre on dry land TO thirty.
five TO forty on irrigated, indicates
what can be done. Some symptoms
of rust have appeared but they have
been mainly confined to poor soils or
overworked land. Grasshoppers are
numerous but the crops are too far
advanced to suffer much from this in
Fiction. From South Australia the
accounts promise a six -bushel average.
The Queenland wheat crop is COM
plete failure, rust hsving destroyed all
hopes OF the yield and the farmers are
now cutting their crops for hay.

ganization Of the Knights of
Labor a study, and believe
1t will fall OF its own weight. Only by
the best OF faith harmony and the
mostc0mplete faith in each other, the
entire absence of selfishness, can any
thing be accomplished by cooperation
OF any kind. Whenever greed or iaal-
ousy or skepticism appears then will
organization fail. The trouble inside
the order at Chicago is the most
serious turn that could have been
taken. The Knights should not ex-
pect anything in the South,
for two reasons: First, there is
traditional prejudice against the
organization of labor there, and Sec
ond, the majority OF those who would
be expected TO Join the order are not
the kind who would stick to it. The
action OF our legislature should not
be surprise. 1t is the natural out
growth OF the prejudice in the South
against this kind OF organization, and,
strange as it may seem, men who do
day labor will vote to maintain it"
